The IET SA&NT

The IET SA&NT branch is staging the 2007 IET Rex Johns Student Presentation Prize (recently renamed in honour of Mr Johns who did so much work to establish the prize). It is to be awarded to an individual for excellence in the presentation of his or her final year project. All students undertaking the final year of an IET accredited degree in South Australia are eligible to enter. The emphasis of this prize is on the ability of the student to communicate the technical information of their project to an audience.

Each individual student presenter will be given 15 minutes for his or her presentation, and a maximum of 5 minutes allowed for questions. There will be a marking panel of four judges. Results will be announced at the end of the evening. State Final winners will receive a $400 cash prize, a year’s free IET membership, and a trip to Melbourne to participate in the Australasian Regional Final early next year. Second place will receive a cash prize of $200, and third place $100.

The overall winner from the Australasian region will be flown to the U.K. to participate in an IET Younger Members conference and receive one year’s IET membership.

The three universities in Adelaide have nominated two presenters each and topics are as diverse as Airship Telemetry and a GSM (mobile phone) Payphone system. If you want to find out more or cheer on friends and family who are presenting on the night then come along on the evening of Wednesday 24th October.
